PH of blood is good indication of health,so we should follow PH of our blood,scale measures how acidic or alkaline — basic — something is.

Your body works constantly to carefully control pH levels of blood and other fluids. The body’s pH balance is also called the acid-base or acid-alkaline balance. The right pH levels are needed for good health.

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. The readings are based around a pH of 7, which is neutral, like pure water:

A pH below 7 is acidic.

A pH higher than 7 is alkaline or basic.

This scale might seem small, but each level is 10 times bigger than the next. For example, a pH of 9 is 10 times more alkaline than a pH of 8. A pH of 2 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 3, and 100 times more acidic than a reading of 4.

So, what’s a normal blood pH?

Your blood has a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. This means that blood is naturally slightly alkaline or basic.

In comparison, your stomach acid has a pH of around 1.5 to 3.5. This makes it acidic. A low pH is good for digesting food and destroying any germs that get into the stomach.

so How PH affect our health?
